If you can do that with a carbide router bit and a cross-vise, I'm sure I
can do it with the equipment I have here. I still have my AMT cross-vise that
I used many years ago for light wood, plastic, and aluminum work. The quill
bearings in the drill press just aren't good enough for doing precise work.
